VINCENT, AND THE ADMIRALTY, IN HIS MOTION FOR AN ENQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE NAVAL DEFENCE OF THE COUNTRY, ON THE 15TH OF MARCH, 1804. London: Published by Henry Ebers, (successor to Mr. John Kerby,) No. 33, Old Bond Street. 1st.ed., 1804. Half-title, title, + 58 pp. 19th century qtr. morocco ; maroon title-piece to spine ; gold lettering ; blind device either end of title-piece ; marbled boards. 21 x 13cm. Some rubbing of joints but sound hinges & o/w V.G. Two bookplates including that for the late Donald Fyffe. John Jervis, Earl St. Vincent, served as First Lord of the Admiralty from 1801 to 1804. During that period of high controversy and political intrigue, he made attempts to tackle corruption in the Royal Dockyards and elsewhere. In 1801 William Pitt resigned as Prime Minister and George III called upon Henry Addington to form a government. St. Vincent accepted the post at the Admiralty in Addington’s cabinet. After war resumed in 1803 politics played an even greater part in St. Vincent’s efforts, and Pitt attacked Addington and his first lord at the Admiralty in an attempt to regain power. From this period, St. Vincent’s 4 naval administration was under constant fire both in the press and in Parliament. Pitt made accusations that with the renewal of hostilities naval mobilization had been slow and patchy. Contracts with private yards had been cancelled in favour of the Royal Dockyards in the name of economy. Price checks on ship timber had seriously affected supplies from outside contractors. The pressure increased during the opening months of 1804 when Lord Spencer joined the fray and Evan Nepean, secretary to the Admiralty, resigned. On the 15th March 1804 – the date referred to in the title - in moving for a comparative return of ships built, Pitt attacked St. Vincent’s policies which were daily weakening Addington’s government. Some naval officers also sided with Pitt, most notably Lord Nelson. This pamphlet, possibly written by St. Vincent’s secretary, Tucker, was an attempt to justify St. Vincent’s position and to state his side of the argument. However, it was in vain. Addington resigned less than two months later and St. Vincent left office two months to the day – 15th May 1804. Within a year the political repercussions from publication of the reports of the commission set up to revise the civil affairs of the Navy (See No. 2 below) led to the resignation and impeachment of Lord Melville, St. Vincent’s successor at the Admiralty. Although St. Vincent was out of office, the attacks on him did not cease and it was only in the post-Trafalgar era that the tide of opinion changed in the Earl’s favour and Charles James Fox moved an unopposed vote of thanks to St. Vincent for his administration. This book gives St. Vincent’s side of the argument. It deals in some detail with equipping ships and raising seamen, dock yard shipbuilding contracts, the question of gun-boats and coastal defence, the force of the Royal Navy and that of the enemy, the number of shipwrights employed, and other matters concerning naval defence. There are many interesting facts and figures published in support of St. Vincent, including a detailed list of the number of ships and vessels in the Navy of 1804 in comparison to earlier on in the conflict.

  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government. By David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • From Sail to Steam: London's Role in a Shipbuilding Revolution Transcript
    From Sail to Steam: London's Role in a Shipbuilding Revolution Transcript Date: Monday, 24 October 2016 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London 24 October 2016 From Sail to Steam: London’s Role in a Shipbuilding Revolution Elliott Wragg Introduction The almost deserted River Thames of today, plied by pleasure boats and river buses is a far cry from its recent past when London was the greatest port in the world. Today only the remaining docks, largely used as mooring for domestic vessels or for dinghy sailing, give any hint as to this illustrious mercantile heritage. This story, however, is fairly well known. What is less well known is London’s role as a shipbuilder While we instinctively think of Portsmouth, Plymouth and the Clyde as the homes of the Royal Navy, London played at least an equal part as any of these right up until the latter half of the 19th century, and for one brief period was undoubtedly the world’s leading shipbuilder with technological capability and capacity beyond all its rivals. Little physical evidence of these vast enterprises is visible behind the river wall but when the tide goes out the Thames foreshore gives us glimpses of just how much nautical activity took place along its banks. From the remains of abandoned small craft at Brentford and Isleworth to unique hulked vessels at Tripcockness, from long abandoned slipways at Millwall and Deptford to ship-breaking assemblages at Charlton, Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, these tantalising remains are all that are left to remind us of London’s central role in Britain’s maritime story.

  • The Need for a New Naval History of the First World War James Goldrick
    Corbett Paper No 7 The need for a New Naval History of The First World War James Goldrick The Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies November 2011 The need for a New Naval History of the First World War James Goldrick Key Points . The history of naval operations in the First World War urgently requires re- examination. With the fast approaching centenary, it will be important that the story of the war at sea be recognised as profoundly significant for the course and outcome of the conflict. There is a risk that popular fascination for the bloody campaign on the Western Front will conceal the reality that the Great War was also a maritime and global conflict. We understand less of 1914-1918 at sea than we do of the war on land. Ironically, we also understand less about the period than we do for the naval wars of 1793-1815. Research over the last few decades has completely revised our understanding of many aspects of naval operations. That work needs to be synthesized and applied to the conduct of the naval war as a whole. There are important parallels with the present day for modern maritime strategy and operations in the challenges that navies faced in exercising sea power effectively within a globalised world. Gaining a much better understanding of the issues of 1914-1918 may help cast light on some of the complex problems that navies must now master. James Goldrick is a Rear Admiral in the Royal Australian Navy and currently serving as Commander of the Australian Defence College.

This family legend has led me on two quests, to search for my roots and to find Admiral Benbow. William A. Benbow Victoria, B.C. June 1988. ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW Benbow! On the roll of fame Thine stands forth a honoured name; Britain mourned her gallant son, Wilst recounting trophies won; England’s Queen with pity moved Mourned the hero England loved.

Yet the memory of the brave Dies not with the opening grave, But like some sweet perfume cast Lives, all fragrant, to the last.

    CAPTAINS OF HMS AJAX 1 JOHN CARTER ALLEN: CAPTAIN OF HMS AJAX from 27 MAY 1770 to 6 JUNE 1771 and from JUNE to 23 AUGUST 1779 John Carter Allen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 June 1745 and to that of Commander on 15 April 1757. He was appointed to the Grampus sloop in command, and towards the end of the same year captured a large privateer. He was soon after posted to a large 6th-rate on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the rank of Post Captain on 21 March 1758, and appointed to the Experiment, but in August 1760, he was transferred to the Repulse frigate on the Halifax station, and took part, under Mr Byron, in the attack and destruction of three French frigates and a considerable number of small craft in Chalem Bay. The Repulse then joined the West India fleet, and continued on that station until the end of hostilities. In 1763 the Repulse was laid-up. John Allen did not hold any further commissions until May 1770, when he was appointed to the Ajax, 74. This was the ship's first commission, and she, together with the Ramillies, Defence, Centaur, and Rippon, 74's, embarked the 30th Regiment of Foot at Cork and transported them to Gibraltar. Soon after the Ajax was laid-up, and it was not until 1777 that Captain Allen was appointed to the Albion, and in the following year to the Egmont. When the Channel Fleet returned from Ushant, he once more assumed command of the Ajax, refitting at Portsmouth.
